AVALON — Zany behavior and practical jokes are nothing new for the Phillie Phanatic. But one woman claims the Philadelphia Phillies' giant green mascot went too far — by tossing her into a swimming pool.

A Pennsylvania woman claims in a lawsuit that she still suffers from severe injuries she sustained when the Phanatic threw her into the pool at Avalon's Golden Inn Hotel & Resort in 2010, according to a report by the Press of Atlantic City.

Suzanne Pierce, 37, of Abington, Pa., hit the bottom of the pool's shallow end and now walks with a cane, her attorney told the newspaper.
